Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place a small, nonstick skillet on a stovetop over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine butter and parmesan cheese. Divide butter mixture between bread slices and spread and even layer on one side of each slice.
  3. Place 1 slice of cheddar and one slice of Swiss between two bread slices, with the buttered sides facing out.
  4. Cook one sandwich in hot skillet for about 2 minutes, until crust is golden.
  5. Flip sandwich and grill on the second side until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Repeat with second sandwich. Slice sandwiches into quarters and serve.

Tips:

Here are ways to add variety to your sandwich with some gourmet grilled cheese ideas:

Broccoli Cheddar Grilled Cheese: Combine 2 tablespoons of finely chopped, steamed broccoli with 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onion. Divide the mixture between the sandwiches and spread between the cheese slices before grilling.

Italian Grilled Cheese: Divide 2 teaspoons jarred pesto between sandwiches and spread an even layer on the non-buttered side of each slice of bread. Swap in mozzarella slices instead of Swiss cheese. Drain and pat dry two jarred roasted red peppers. Tuck one roasted red pepper and 2 tablespoon chopped fresh baby spinach between cheese slices on each sandwich before grilling.

Apple & Arugula Grilled Cheese: Core and thinly slice one small apple. Tuck half of the apple slices and 2 tablespoons fresh arugula leaves between cheese slices before grilling. Also works great on cinnamon raisin bread.
